SCD19#2 — Last Partnerships Formed, Training Begins and the First Live Show

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

First thread here.

I'm looking forward to seeing Neil dance with a partner weekly, but I'm really put off him from the bits on ITT that I saw. Trying to be funny etc - didn't work for me.

Interesting J Hooghly article!

captain that is my all-time favourite Strictly dance routine - never get bored of watching it 😍

I like Nadiya's choreography. I'm
a big fan of a dance where I can name most of the steps!

Darcey is so thin in that last video!

Gorka's big announcement..
Fire dance tour with Karen, I was surprised to see them touring together, not sure why, but just surprised me!
I think it'll be good but as usual.. not coming anywhere near to me

What are everyone's favourite past pairings?

Jay and Aliona
Danny and Oti
Faye and Giovanni

I only started watching strictly maybe 6 years ago though so missed a lot

I might go to the strictly tour next year and take my 7yo ds we love strictly season (it gives me a break from his 24-hour a day football obsession )

Are you still like Karen but I've gone off for now I don't know why I can't pinpoint it but I certainly wouldn't pay to go and see her and Gorka. In fact I don't think I'd pay to go and see any of them on their individual tours

Mine are old school

Karen and Ramps Argentine
Natasha and Brendan's Paso
Austin and Erin's Jive
Ali and Brian's Viennese
Vincent and Louisa's Quickstep And Jive
Zoe and Ian's Tango

No I've never bothered with individual tours done the official one twice

It's good but I hate how obviously scripted it is

I really loved Kara and Artem. They don't get mentioned much but I thought they danced beautifully together.

Does anyone know if there'll be another
'Here Come the Boys' tour? We went to that a couple of months ago & we were blown away, it was fantastic. I think I'd much rather see that than the SCD tour.

100 some really lovely dances on your list yy Kara she was a beautiful dancer. I know Natalie Gunmede (sp) was a ringer but she also did some lovely routines, can’t remember who she was paired with though.

Just watching it again since we had company on sat.
The judges dancing...I thought Shirley was good although didn't like her dress..a bit mutton dressed as lamb but she was by far the best judge dancing. Craig I thought was ok..
Bruno..wtf. terrible.

And the new judge moxi is it? She was ok but didn't like her facial expressions. Also I know this is a bitchy comment but she seems pudgy for being a dancer?! Like a fair tummy on her?? Seems strange to me

The luba girl, pro dancer seem a nice. Was she on this last year?
I like Karen and Katya. I think they are the dancers where we've seen most personality. People like nadia..dont think I've ever heard her talk!

Watching the professionals dance during the mark ronson song..can see why graziano is on the show, think that's the best I've seen him dance

@Horehound, the first thing I noticed about Motsi was her enormous boobs! I spent the whole programme trying to work out how much strapping she'd need to keep them in during a routine!

@covetingthepreciousthings re the podcast, it’s called Fighting Talk, it’s a comic sports based panel show type thing. Jamie Laing has only been on it a couple of times but he made me begrudgingly admit that he does have a personality as well as a tonne of money!

@Monkeybunkey haha yeh she does have a large bosom! I think oti does too?!

Oh dear Kevin wasn't so enamoured with anneka. After he did the weird dance with her (not a pick up like they've all done) when they were paired he didn't touch her at all!

Wow Anton is a dick! "If you've been through what I've been through" ffs.

I've never been to the live tour (the only arena shows I've been to are Disney on Ice!) but I have been to a couple of Anton and Erin's and really enjoyed them.

They have a nice mixture of dancing, singing, music (they have a live band on the stage) and a bit of answering questions from the audience/audience participation.

Horehound, Luba has been behind the scenes for a few years now. She Is Giovanni's professional partner and has been on tour with him.

She's an amazing and elegant dancer. Loved the routines she did with Johannes on ITT and she looked incredible when she danced with Gio during the Gladys Knight performance.

Ah thanks @xsquared

Oh poor Jamie. What a shame he seemed to be really into the whole strictly thing :(
